WVGuy Campfire Regular W Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 885	I bought one about 18 months ago. I got about 15% off the sticker price. This is my third Subaru. I pounded almost 200,000 on the older ones. I am not sure about this one. I can agree with the mileage and power in the six cylinder. This motor has a timing chain so no issue with the belt. The outback is way roomer than my 2003 model.

You can get it from any dealer and you can pit them against each other. When my daughter decided to buy her leased Impeza(sp) , that is what we did. I got the contact info of a dealership on the East Coast and we also contacted the dealership in Lincoln. Got the best offer from each we ended up getting the extended warranty for $1 over the dealerships cost.

I started working on the Scoobie Do in 1978 at the highest volume Subaru dealership in the USA. That was Continental Motor Co. in Anchorage, Ak. By some people on this forum a very great amount of folks in Alaska, Colorado, and other cold weather states are queer. I have to stifle my chuckles reading some of these thread posts.

We had to hunt for one with a 5 speed stick. Most everything we looked at had those CVT, or gumband transmissions. Stick with the regular automatic if you can, and try for a v-6. That box 4 cylinder is a damn pig. We had an 09 Forrester with the v-6 and a five speed that had 270 thousand miles with no trouble other than a new clutch at 225000! Them Subies run almost forever, but I miss the power and torque of the 6 popper. Good luck. 7mm I've got a 4 cyclinder Toyota Rav 4 automatic and beat my Gf's 2015 Dodge Challenger with a Hemi 5 or 6 speed manual in about 1/8 mile which is as far as we could go without missing our turns. I agree about the CVT trannies. That's why I bought Toyota. No CVT. We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth? Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.

CVT transmission and a Turbo what could possibly go wrong?
